Wow! Here's mine: At full retirement age (67): *$3,174 a month* At age 70: *$3,947 a month* At early retirement age (62): *$2,221 a month * That's a real cut and paste from the ssa.gov site.

The idiot Boris proudly declared he shook the hands of all patients at a hospital he visited, including those testing positive for the coronavirus. Now he know what happens if you do that. He occupied a bed in intensive care which a less reckless person should have had. I don't much fancy Trump's chances of survival if he gets the virus. Boris is 55 and Trump is 73. |

More at: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/13/half-of-coronavirus-deaths- happen-in-care-homes-data-from-eu-suggests HALF OF CORONAVIRUS DEATHS HAPPEN IN CARE HOMES, DATA FROM EU SUGGESTS Figures from Italy, Spain, France, Ireland and Belgium suggest UK may be underestimating care sector deaths --- About half of all Covid-19 deaths appear to be happening in care homes in some European countries, according to early figures gathered by UK-based academics who are warning that the same effort must be put into fighting the virus in care homes as in the NHS. Snapshot data from varying official sources shows that in Italy, Spain, France, Ireland and Belgium between 42% and 57% of deaths from the virus have been happening in homes, according to the report by academics based at the London School of Economics (LSE). Published official data for care homes in England and Wales are believed to significantly underestimate deaths in the sector, with the Office for National Statistics only recording 20 coronavirus-related deaths in all care homes in the week ending 27 March. New figures are due out on Tuesday, but are unlikely to be up to date. |

I'm no expert in the American healthcare system but it seems there's going to be a lot of people, especially undocumented, getting sick but not treated. Surely this will create a reservoir of disease affecting everyone. The poor do the menial jobs the wealthy don't wish to do, but will now be infecting them in the process. |

Boris Johnson, a millionnaire, was treated for covid in an NHS public hospital. In UK and other countries with universal healthcase, poor people in menial jobs have access to the same treatment as their employers. That does not appear to be the case for poor people in USA.

Meanwhile, people of all other races and cultures are >coming here and improving their lives. My wife has worked steadily as a substitute teacher for 15 years now, 2-3 days a week, mostly teaching high school, and some junior high, she refuses grade school as she refuses to be a baby sitter for spoiled brats. The schools are coming to realize that not every kid has the apptitude to do well in acadamia but has the innate ability to do exceptionally well in trade schools. Nowadays schools are transfering kids out of junior high to trade schools where they graduate with a high school diploma and learn a skilled trade that pays well and with no heavy student loans, but most importantly they enjoy working in a trade so do not become a behavioral problem, and some go on to earn a college degree paid for by the company where they work, today many companys have employee assistance programs that gladly foot the bill for higher education. The main problem with inner city schools is that they are way over crowded and give little to no guidance, plus there aren't parents in the home... kids don't learn what they are best suited for, become unemployable and are more likely to end up in the prison system. |

Does anyone else here watch the PBS series "This Old House"? Over the last year they've had apprentices on the show. At the end of some of the weekly shows they've had clips and interviews with some trade schools and they're begging for students. They're giving certifications for plumbing, electrical work, metalworking, carpentry, etc. There is some cost involved but it's nowhere near the cost of a college degree and the pay is excellent. Plus, they're learning a skill they love. What good is a college degree if you simply hate the field your degree is in?? So many think of the trades as 'blue-collar' and to them that equals minimum wage. That's simply not true. |
